M. MATSUMURA. 



" ■ Head ochraceous, marginal striations to front and the whole 

 of vertex — excluding two small spots near eyes and two basal spots — 

 black. Pronotum blackish ; the lateral and posterior margins, a 

 central longitudinal fascia, and some discal macular markings, 

 ochraceous ; extreme edges of posterior and lateral margins, with three 

 marginal spots near each lateral angle and a central basal marginal spot 

 black. Mesonotuni ochraceous with a large central fused spot, an 

 irregular fascia on each lateral area, and a large spot in front of the 

 basal cruciform elevation, black. Abdomen pale castaneous, with greyish 

 tomentose lateral markings, the base, — narrowly — the apical segment 

 and areal appendage, and a lateral series of segmental spots, blackish. 

 Body beneath ochraceous ; a central fascia and transverse striations to 

 face, sternal spots, op^rcula, femora, anterior tibiae, base of posterior 

 tibiae, base and apex of anterior and intermediate tarsi, and margins of 

 the apical segment, black or blackish. 



" Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the venation mostly fuscous ; 

 tegmina with the costal membrane ochraceous, its outer edge black ; the 

 transverse veins at the bases of the second, third, fifth, seventh and 

 eighth apical areas infrascateci, a series of small marginal spots on the 

 longitudinal veins to apical areas, a spot on venation at base of upper 

 ulnar area and the same at apex and anterior rnai'gin of basal cell, and a 

 claval streak, black. 



" The rostrum reaches the posterior coxae ; the face is very ob- 

 scurely sulcated and somewhat strongly transversely striate. 



" Long. excl. tegm. g 30-31 mm. ; £ '23-26 mm. Exp. tegm.

This very much resembles the preceding species, differing only by 

 its larger size, its color and the shape (best explained by figure) of its 

 opercula, the fasciated abdomen and the relative length of the first and

 long as the second. It is also peculiar to Japan. It is recorded that Mr. 

 Lewis, the celebrated coleopterist, first procured a good series of the spe- 

 cimens of this species during his entomological journey in Japan. It has
